FBI Director Chris Wray Defends Sending 30 Armed Agents to Arrest Pro-Life Father Mark Houck

It has become abundantly clear that the Biden administration and their accomplices are in favor of abortion. They’ll do whatever it takes to further the pro-abort narrative even if that means allowing pro-aborts to get away with violent acts of domestic terrorism while arresting innocent pro-lifers.

Flashback to September 2022, when father and husband Mark Houck was bombarded with at least two-dozen armed FBI agents and arrested over a minor altercation he’d had with an abortion supporter. The arrest was absolutely berserk and Houck, as of Jan. 2023, has been cleared of all counts.

Nonetheless, the FBI is still claiming they weren’t biased in their arrest.

In a segment on Fox News, FBI Director Chris Wray was called out for his decisions to arrest certain protestors but not others. He claimed the FBI bases its policies on “one standard which is irrespective of ideology politics.”

Wray is “wray” wrong. In the last year alone, the FBI has made it abundantly clear that it has a massive bias against pro-lifers. Wray himself even stated that 70% of violence following Roe’s overturn is acts of vandalism against churches, pro-life organizations and crisis pregnancy centers. Yet, the people who are getting arrested are the pro-lifers for their either non-existent or minuscule “crimes,” while pro-abort vandals often aren’t ever caught.

Take Houck, for example, who shoved away a 72-year-old abortion-supporting man who got in the face of Houck’s 12-year-old son shouting obscenities. This took place outside of a Planned Parenthood where the Houcks were peacefully praying. Though Houck acted in defense of his son, he was the one arrested. Nothing happend to the older man.

In the Fox News exclusive, host Brett Baier pointed out the hypocrisy in Wray’s and the FBI’s decisions.

Historically FBI protocol is that a defendant has, if it has no criminal history, is not believed to be violent or pose a threat to public safety, that he or she is permitted to self surrender, rather than subject dynamic execution of an arrest warrant. Here’s what I’m talking about is the dual system. You know, there’s that for a pro-life activist, but not that for a Black Lives Matter protestor who maybe torches a federal building over the summer.

YUP! The hypocrisy is undeniable.

The FBI has not done much if anything about the pro-death activists who’ve fire-bombed, graffitied, thrown paint at, egged, and broken the windows of dozens of life-affirming institutions.

As a matter of fact, on March 1, Sen. Mike Lee announced that the DOJ has announced charges against 34 individuals for “blocking access to or vandalizing abortion clinics.” He also mentioned that there’ve been over 81 reported attacks on pregnancy resource centers and 130 attacks on Catholic Churches, but only TWO individuals have been charged.

Though the why is evident: the DOJ is ultimately run by Biden, who’s got an extreme pro-abort agenda.

Attorney General Merrick Garland had a different proposition as to why pro-lifers are getting charged and not the pro-aborts.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

It has gotten incredibly obvious that our “authorities” have an agenda. They’re no longer doing their jobs to protect the innocent and ensure that we live in a just nation. Instead, they’re cherry-picking who our laws do and don’t apply to in order to establish and push their extreme leftist views.
